Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for digoxin. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as an adverse effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Digoxin toxicity can cause blurred vision, a key adverse effect to monitor. It doesn't typically increase urine output, reflexes, or cause weight gain.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for oxycodone 5 mg PO every 4 hr PRN for pain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oxycodone risks respiratory depression, requiring monitoring. Grapefruit isn't relevant, it's PRN not daily, and glucose isn't affected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for rivaroxaban. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, increases bleeding risk, leading to bruising. It's taken with food (not high-fat specifically), stools may darken with bleeding, and grapefruit isn't a major concern.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of dopamine. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dopamine extravasation can cause tissue necrosis, requiring hourly checks. Site changes are less frequent, rate depends on orders, and heparin isn't routine.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause dizziness due to fluid loss or low BP. It's taken in the morning, decreases potassium, and orange juice is fine.
